Huntley ran in his fifth rushing touchdown of the season. Through the first quarter, Kuithe caught three of Huntley’s four pass completions for 37 yards.

Utah scored on their first drive after the defense made some key plays in red zone to avoid a UCLA touchdown and forcing them to kick a field goal with a sack by Bradlee Anae.

The sack by @BradleeAnae was his 9th of the season and 26th of his career, moving him into a tie for third all-time at Utah with Filipo Mokofisi, Sr. (1982-85). https://t.co/nRNVjVSVvt

Anae now has 26 career sacks, 9 this season. He is tied with Filipo Mokofisi Sr. for third all-time in school history.

UCLA enters the game against Utah with a three-game winning streak. Both Utah and the Bruins control their destiny in the Pac-12 South and the winner will have a great chance of reaching the Pac-12 Championship game.
